My wife Dr. Jennifer Quinn is more than a mathematician and math museum director. She is an artist! Here is her #LuxPortrait of Einstein, painted with luminous bacteria on a Petri dish. Such talent! #DontFearTheMicrobe #LuxArt @univpugetsound @microbe.tv @ASMicrobiology

#MicroMas is growing nearer in my little lab! Join the microbial world in celebration! #MicrobialEnthusiasts #MicrobialCentricity #DontFearTheMicrobe @asmicrobiology @univpugetsound @MicrobeTV

This appeared on the whiteboard outside my little laboratory. I will accept it as a kind compliment! @univpugetsound @ASMicrobiology @microbe.tv #DontFearTheMicrobe #microbiology

I will truly miss teaching undergraduates microbiology at the University of Puget Sound. See why? I have been very lucky. @univpugetsound @asmicrobiology @microbe.tv #microbiology #Micronaut #DontFearTheMicrobe

A #MicrobiologicalStory about agar degrading marine bacteria. In my Biology350 class at @univpugetsound #MarineMicrobiology #DontFearTheMicrobe @asmicrobiology #PitterParty #MarineMicrobiologicalSafari @microbe.tv

This is how I have always felt about microbiology. #MicrobialEvangelist #microbialcentrism #DontFearTheMicrobe @asmicrobiology @univpugetsound @MicrobeTV @GIANTmicrobes

Sigh. You know I will have to commission fancy enamel pins that read “ASK ME ABOUT MICROBES.” I need to win the lottery to promote #MicrobialPR the way I want to do so. #DontFearTheMicrobe

I have always enjoyed showing #Micronauts “who” lives in their water bottles. #DocMartian Chianna demonstrates. These #WaterBottleBuddies are not bad or good. They simply are. #DontFearTheMicrobe #microbialcentrism @asmicrobiology @univpugetsound.bsky.social @microbetv.bsky.social

From bioluminescent colonies on plates, to liquid cultures, to student painting, to the results. The intersection of microbiology and art is beautiful. #MicrobialCentricity #DontFearTheMicrobe #bioluminescence #ScienceArt @asmicrobiology @univpugetsound @MicrobeTV

A little bit of microbiology for you today! A very simple illustration of gene regulation using a promoter recognizing the sugar arabinose and linking it to green fluorescence protein! Also, that bacteria will use glucose BEFORE using arabinose! #DontFearTheMicrobe #GeneRegulation @MicrobeTV

I asked my #Bio350 #Micronauts to write down the name of a prokaryote that struck them with #OMG and WTM feelings. We talked about them in class These are just two examples. @univpugetsound @ASMicrobiology @microbe.tv MicrobialCentrism DontFearTheMicrobe
